What Is Moderation?

The moderation feature allows you to assign certain users to review and approve
content changes submitted by community users before they are published. If content in a
place could become contentious or contain sensitive information, you may want to designate a
moderator for that place.

When moderation is enabled, users must submit their content changes to the
moderator(s) for approval or rejection. To understand the process flow for moderation in
the application, be sure to read
Reviewing Moderation Requests.

You can designate one or several content moderators per place and enable moderation
for a variety of content types. For a complete list of content types that can be
moderated and the places where you can enable moderation, see Who Moderates What?

Other Kinds of Moderation

Abuse reporting. When users report abuse, the reports are sent to a
moderator. For more information, see Setting Up
Abuse Reporting.

Document approval. Document approval is different from content moderation
in that document approvers can only approve documents in a given space.
For information about that, see Setting a
Document Approver in a Space.
